Micro Software

I just love this type of Casino software. However, it seems that with each new game added, I seem to have more and more problems w/ the software. When clicking on the Casino icon the first metter bar will load to 164%. After it's finally loads, I can log into the Casino. Once in the Casino I go and attempt to download a game. Only now, it will just reload the same game over and over, countless times. It never takes a full complete download. I've tried downloading several different types of games. Only to end in the same results of it reloading and reloading the game, any game!

I've contacted the Casino(s) that I'm having the problems with. They resort back to me, having me check to make sure the proxy's haven't changed within the ISP and to make sure my DirectX is completely updated. Which I have checked with my ISP to make sure the proxy hasnt been changed, I made sure my Direct X is current, I've ran my updated virus scans, I've deleted my temp folder and cookies, I've done complete uninstalls before reinstalling the software. Still, same problem! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

i love this software to, but it does seem to be having more and more problems.

the latest annoying problem is that i'm having is best described as delayed clicks, i.e. i click something on the screen yet the click isnt registered till sometime later. for some reason this only happens when your leaving a game, the result of the click being delayed often results in you loading up a game you dont want because the software has used the delayed click to click on a game for you when your trying to leave the casino.

I have had so much trouble with the software, that I just play the flash versions now. Every one I've tried lately I can play on my regular downloaded casino version account at the flash casino. You lose some games and the new ones aren't there, but there's still plenty there, and no problems.

I have been investigating this myself for months now as I have had increasing problems and no solutions have been forthcoming from the casinos or Microgaming. The more I investigate the errors, the more I find out.

After looking at All Slots, I find that it is downloading to my hard drive for 15 minutes or more each time I log in, even with all the games now finally installed. I have used a "packet sniffer" and the cause is repeated transactions to a website "www.spiralclick.com". This would appear to be a template page for serving banner ads, but none are coded and the page displays blank. Further digging reveals that the IP for this page 207.219.6.151 seems to have rather more in common with Microgaming than they would have us believe (The problem is your ISP, check your proxies etc). You must register/login in order to see the link. is 207.219.6.6 Worse still, 207.219.6.153 seems to be owned by You must register/login in order to see the link., which does work for Microgaming, Jackpot Madness website, and guess what, The Jackpot Factory.

I have also worked out is is NOT a browser or DNS lookup issue, as the software appears to connect by IP directly. (Try the experiment for proof, block You must register/login in order to see the link. to local in host file, and casino still connects to it, so not a DNS issue or browser problem)

My conclusion is:-

Microgaming (operators) , the problem is AT YOUR END - GET IT SORTED!!!!!!!

The problem seems to vary from MG casino to another. Some are fine, some have problems, and a few have very severe problems. I have been told that all MG casinos are basically the same except for cosmetic branding and game choices available - so it is odd that they have different levels of problems.

NB The top 3 levels of IP often resolve to an individual corporate entity, or server farm. I would assume that IPs starting 217.219.6.xxx are pretty cosy with Microgaming, if not simply diferent branches of Microgaming.

I have a suspision that the new IE7 being developed by Microsoft could kill off Microgaming casinos due to the way they appear to attempt to circumvent browser settings. This might also explain why players with firewalls are always having trouble.

I have reached this stage after numerous reinstalls of MG casinos, Internet Explorer, etc. Updated drivers - I have done all that has been suggested, and the problems get worse. Microgaming still INSIST that they have not raised the minimum system requirements, so there should be no reason why an upgrade on my part should be necessary other than for cosmetic improvements to the gaming experience.

I earlier started a thread on these problems, so you are certainly not alone in your frustrations.

ever since the update to lucky nugget i have not been able to even get the software to load it just keeps refreshing the loading page. i let this run for 30min or more and still the same thing. i have contacted the bellerock rep here but he cant figure it and said a casino rep will contact me. i tried to uninstall and reinstall but the downloader just hangs up like described in another thread in the casino complaints. and i have also noticed the problem with downloading new games.

I too used to have the same problem in the upgrades/downloads on the mg casinos. I found that if I de-activate the virus/firewall only once that is blocking this new download, it loads fine. Then all I have to do is run the software games.

I used to have a problem with downloading more than 1 game at a time also and when they have new games but I learned to download 1 game..go all the way out and come back in to download another. Easier than fighting with support not knowing what to do.

It works great now! My firewall/virus software that kept the software from completeing an upgrade was Armour2net Firewall. Great product, but it does its job!

I have NO firewall, and I removed the Norton antivirus ages ago and MG downloads STILL don't work.
Royal Vegas is now fully broken, it just keeps refreshing the start page over and over. I have around half that work OK, and the others have varying degrees of problems.
I tend to have the most trouble with those groups that mess around with fancy downloaders & Java etc. (Bellerock & Fortune Lounge) The simple download & save function in IE tends to work better. Best of all is to get the full 100Mb downloaded and install locally in one go, updating only the most recent games. Broadband or CD required!
I am beginning to suspect that MG have got too clever with the more recent upgrades and they are no longer compatable with "Mature" PCs. The increasing sophistication of ISP offerings might also have some bearing.
The total lack of a user manual for the client interface, coupled with the limited knowledge of the casino support often means these problems just go unaddressed. The MG homepage has nothing of value to players.
I think MG should test the latest offerings against the minimum requirements again, and should test "in the field" using a variety of ISP services.
They should list the obscure settings that might make all the difference. The suggestion to take my PC to a repair shop is a joke, they have no documentation on MG software, and would spend fruitless hours looking for likely problems.

Sad to say, but if your computer is more "mature" than 3 years old...it might need to be either upgraded or totally revamped...or donated..

Being on the IT side of computers..this is definitley a problem with most older computers is that the graphic intense software now being offered online totally drains the memory and if you have "shared memory" between the graphics and software operating system..you really are in trouble.

I, myself , swap out my computer every two years just to keep up with what is happening on the internet, the games etc. and to keep from having these awful problems as you state..

This is an issue that we have been looking at for a while, and many of you have contacted me directly. Unfortunately we do not have a final answer at the moment, but we are working at eliminating certain things.

If you are still having the problem with any of the Belle Rock brands, choose either River Belle, Lucky Nugget or Gaming Club, remove the software from your PC and go to www.carmenmedia.com/exedown.asp and download and install the software. See if this will work and if the game updates also work. Please post or PM your feedback. This link will only be live until Monday.

Forgot to mention that you should also delete any instances of the Download Helper from your desktop. This is a club symbol in a gold square. The application resides in the desktop so the best way to remove it is simply to delete it.
